The House Cat by Helen Cooper
4.0
I had this book read to me all throughout my childhood and rereading it gave me so many feelings. I remember the story made me worry so much for the house cat, even though I already knew the ending. Such a peculiar feeling to re-experience that in adulthood. The illustrations have such a quality to them, I wanted to sink right into the pages.
The Monsters in my Tummy by Roman Dirge
4.0
Four stars for nostalgia and my undying love for Dirges art style. But on rereading it in adulthood, the rhymes are pretty grating.
Little Beaver and the Echo by Amy MacDonald
5.0
I haven’t read this since I was a child, and for some reason it made me cry.
1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
4.0
Imagine another world, a world where two moons hang in the sky and Haruki Murakami knows how to write women.
The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell
3.0
Campbell loves to ramble, Ophelia loves a dry piece of nonfiction. Just give me the facts, Joe, I don’t want to be entertained!
